INVENTORS INTERACTIVE ADVENTURE

Wednesday, Feb. 8-Tuesday, Feb. 14

The Taylorsville-Bennion Heritage Center has several family history books on its shelves, including this month’s featured history of the Ted and Defonda Collier family. It was published by their son Robert Collier in 2004.

DeFonda kept journals much of her life except for a few years while living in Taylorsville when life was hectic and the family was often stretched beyond their limits. Their family history book is formatted by chapters, which give a general feel of their lives in the community. The Collier’s home was located at 1166 W. 4800 South.

If this piques your interest, drop by the museum and read through this fabulous book. We’re located at 1488 W. 4800 South.

Celebrate National Inventors' Day. Drop by the Taylorsville Branch to complete this interactive adventure and earn a small prize.
